Waltz Of Crowns | YA Fantasy Romance No Spice | Beauty and the Beast / Nutcracker Retelling

SHE WANTED TO SACRIFICE HER FREEDOM,

NOT HER HEART

When Clara is swept from her quiet Amsterdam life into a realm of snow-dusted magic, the last thing she expects to find is that her wooden Nutcracker doll has come to life. Having wished for true love, it does not take Clara long to fall for the handsome Nutcracker King Nash. With palaces, magic, and enchanted dinners, Clara cannot believe how quickly her luck has changed.

But Clara’s new life of romance ends as quickly as it begins when Nash is captured by the rivaling Rat King, Rylan. Desperate to prove her love and loyalty, Clara volunteers to take Nash’s place as Rylan’s prisoner. Determined not to let the Rat King ruin her happily-ever-after, Clara concocts plans to cause chaos in the enemy kingdom.

Clara’s chances at escape take a turn when she begins falling for her evil captor and learning the secrets of the centuries-long feud. Will she lose everything she ever wanted if the secrets get out?
